The flight to The Datai Langkawi on Malaysia Airlines, which we were guests of, was a pleasant and comfortable one. Before the smooth landing we could already see the lush rainforests of Langkawi below from the plane’s windows. Editors and journalists from many parts of the world had been invited by The Datai Langkawi to take a look at the recently reopened luxury resort.
It was a scenic drive from the airport and when we reached, we were greeted by friendly and attentive staff. Everything was done to perfection and as we headed to the rooms, it was with the lifting of our hearts and anticipation of a wonderful experience over the next few days. After 25 years in a huge site of more than 46 acres, we were glad to see that following a 12-month renovation programme, The Datai Langkawi’s newly refurbished interiors and facilities were fabulous and all done without compromising the Datai’s DNA.
